Welcome to Week 9 of the 14 Week Cheltenham Running Club Programme!
The conditions are feeling much better suited to running so it’s vital we make the most of them.
There are now just 5 weeks till Cheltenham’s 10k and Half Marathon so you should be all over your training.
Our Couch to 5k runners are in week 9 of their programme so this time next week will be facing their first non-stop 5k runs.
They’ll then take on their first park run at Pittville Park on Saturday the 14th of August!
Our Walking community has been very busy planning out a schedule of Saturday countryside walks and looking ahead to walking events such as the Winchcombe Walking Festival in October.
Tuesday 3rd August Session Details
Non-stop runners meeting at the Prestbury Park Playing Field
Warm-up with the standard 30sec fast, 60 seconds back for 5 reps followed by our standard stretches. You can do this on the grass, out of the way of those already using the track.
For the main set, we’re back to 600m fast but this time with a 2minute slow jog x 7-9reps. I’ve provided a range as those in the slower groups will take longer to run each rep.
Recovering should be a slow jog where possible. A jogging recovery means you cannot afford to run too fast on the 600m runs.
Below you’ll find a target speed to aim for in the first half of your workout. If you’re feeling good in the second half then you’re welcome to speed up.
Here are some details specific to your group:
7s complete 7 reps aiming for 8kph on the fast periods
8s complete 7 reps aiming for 9kph on the fast periods
9s complete 8 reps aiming for 10kph on the fast periods
10s complete 8 reps aiming for 11kph on the fast periods
11s complete 9 reps aiming for 12kph on the fast periods
12s complete 9 reps aiming for 13kph on the fast periods
13s complete 11 reps aiming for 14kph on the fast periods
